So what is stopping you from contributing more? If it "makes you sick" to pay less in taxes, donate (without writing it off). it makes me laugh when a family makes 700k/year and is okay with high taxes. Yeh, if my husband and I made that much it wouldn't be an issue! Instead, we're struggling to pay our mortgage, support our children, save for college, etc. because of high tax rates. Have extra to spare? Donate more to the community. Trump isn't stopping you from giving up more than 33% of your large paycheck. |
And what these losers don't realize is that the same thing that popped the blue-collar work bubble and led to the devastation of the rust belt and rural areas- technological advances and automation- is coming straight for white collar jobs. Like a speeding train that's scheduled to arrive literally within the next decade. With the advances in computers, it's only a matter of time before the fairly routine jobs done by lawyers, doctors, clerks, etc become outsourced to technology. Plenty of experts have written about this. Soon, the sanctimonious smugness will be replaced by their own despair. And, I gotta say, even though I am white collar myself, I will relish it. To see these smug douches realize that the chickens have come home to roost, so to speak, after the plethora of truly sociopathic posts from liberals in this thread.... man, it will be a day of karma. |
I'm PP. I wish this was Twitter so I could follow you. |
Only $300k HHI? The poors according to DC standards. |
There is already some legal and medical work being performed on the cheap overseas. Also work getting pushed down to nurses and paralegals. We all know it's coming. |
Perhaps. Or is it possible you're wrong? I never wanted Trump to win. I would never have voted for him. But I will still try to help the less fortunate because I never predicated helping the less fortunate on my team winning. I live in DC, and I wouldn't be shocked if my HHI was more than yours. Why do you think that's so important? |
| It's 300K HHI POLICE Babe. |
And he gives a shit from his Trump tower and gold plated toilet? |
Nice try. |
So true. The only time I hear about people moving for jobs now are educated professionals you got some great gig in a fantastic city somewhere. Or got their dream physician's job had a great hospital. In previous generations people would move to where the jobs were even if they were basic factory jobs. Uneducated whites are too lazy for that now. They self-medicate, become obese and watch reality TV. Now theyre going to have the best reality TV show ever for the next four years. Hopefully most of them will OD on opioids. |
I remember when Democrats actually cared about poor people. Heck, I remember when Americans cared about other Americans. Actually helped each other. Can't you see that it's even more important now than ever not to be greedy and all about yourself? It is a problem for all of us. Even Hillary said she will still be engaged in America. But maybe she lied? |
I don't understand what this means. Are we supposed to dislike the people who make more or less than $300k? |
Maybe they aren't moving because they can't afford to move to the high COL areas where these unlivable $10/hr jobs are available? Maybe people moved to those basic factory job areas in the past because those jobs paid a lot? (Because those basic factory union jobs did pay a lot, but now we just have the $10/hr basic service jobs available). But, alas, no problem. We can get that cheap $10/hr labor from other countries because they are willing to live 10 people to an apartment with no health insurance, no car insurance, etc. (illegally of course). And they, being illegal, do not have to pay taxes. Just something to think about (and I voted for Hillary). |
Don't count on it. Bush lowered them beyond reason so that most low/mid middle income etc. pay little to no federal income tax. Any further tax cut will not include the middle to lower middle so it would be about the worst move they could make. In fact, because they are going to automatically inherit increasing deficits, look up the projections, they aren't going to lower yours. |
Yeah, because working class white people are all about "guns and heroin." Idiot! Maybe you are the one who is uneducated. |
